For every 140 cupcakes that Adam's factory produces,
it produces 20 buns.
It produces a total of 320 cupcakes and buns,
- How many cupcakes does Adam's factory bake?
- How many more cupcakes than buns does Adam's factory produce?
(a)
Number of cupcakes and buns per set
= 140 + 20
= 160
Number of sets
= 320 ÷ 160
= 2
Number of cupcakes that Adam's factory produces
= 2 x 140
= 280
(b)
Number of buns that Adam's factory produces
= 2 x 20
= 40
Number of more cupcakes than buns
= 280 - 40
= 240
Answer(s): (a) 280; (b) 240
